It was horrible! It was effecting my family and my work.After 2 weeks on the meds I feel 80% better. about 15 min after taking the meds I get sleepy. Sometimes it gives me a headache but for the most part I am very satisfied! Hide Full Comment

Comment: I took Buspirone 5 years ago for anxiety attacks. I just recently went back on it for similar reasons. The side effects are bad when I take a whole 10mg pill. I break the pills in half and take 5mg 6 times a day to lesson the side effects. It seems to work well doing this way. I don’t think this is a drug that you can feel working right away.

Comment:I took Buspirone 5 years ago for anxiety attacks. I just recently went back on it for similar reasons. The side effects are bad when I take a whole 10mg pill. I break the pills in half and take 5mg 6 times a day to lesson the side effects. It seems to work well doing this way. I don’t think this is a drug that you can feel working right away. It takes 2 to 3 weeks before you really notice a difference. For me, I didn’t feel like it was working until one day I just realized that my stress level went down so it must be working. I think you really need to wait it out for this drug to kick in. However this time around I seem to be having memory problems, forgetfulness, making mistakes I would normally never make. Not sure if this is a normal side effect that will wear off. Overall it’s a good drug.Hide Full Comment

Comment: I have been on this medication for 2 1/2 years and had very little anxiety at 40mgs. twice a day. I suffer some nausea with the evening dose but compared to the addictive properties of benzodiazapines I am trmendosously satifisfied with the results of Buspar.
